New Friends of York County Plan White Elephant Gift Exchange

Need to get rid of some bric-a-brac, or did you get that "what-the-heck" gift for Christmas? If so, now is the time to pass it on to someone else. January is the New Friends of York County annual White Elephant Gift Exchange. Bring that item wrapped to the meeting and partake in all the fun of seeing what people did not want or need anymore. Even if you do not have an item to bring, come and laugh with the rest of the group.

The meeting will begin on Thursday, Jan. 16 at 6:30 p.m. at Hoss’s Steak and Sea House, 3604 E. Market St., York. Those who plan to order dinner are asked to arrive by 6:15 p.m. For more details or to make a meeting reservation by Jan. 13, please call 717-718-8683 or visit www.newfriendsofyorkcounty.com.
